Boot Fund
The Boot Fund is a charity which helps children who come from families on a low income. It aims to help those parents who might otherwise struggle to provide their children with school shoes. The basic qualifications are that the child who requires new school shoes is of school age, and a regular attendee at a Coventry School. Parents complete application forms which are agreed and signed by the Headteacher and forwarded to the charity by the school. Successful applicants are supplied with vouchers which they can exchange for shoes at a pre-arranged shoe shop.
Free School Meals
Free School Meals are provided for pupils who come from families on a low income. All the food provided meets national nutritional standards. Parents need to complete and sign an application form which is provided by the school. This is then forwarded to the Admissions and Benefits department. Pupils whose parents qualify, will be issued with a card which can be used to purchase lunch and snacks.
Please come and request an application form from the school office – you may be eligible!
